The problem
DS Corp DBA Crossroads RV (Crossroads) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Hill Country and Sunset Trail recreational trailers manufactured May 13, 2015, to April 18, 2016 and equipped with an outside kitchen compartment. In the affected trailers, the inside range burners may be extinguished unintentionally when the outside kitchen compartment door is opened.
The risk
With the burners extinguished, the propane may continue to flow, creating a build up of propane gas, which in the presence of an ignition source, can increase the risk of a fire and/or explosion.
The fix
Crossroads has notified owners, and dealers will install a piece of trim to cover the air gap behind the inside range to the outside kitchen, free of charge. The recall began on June 9, 2016. Owners may contact Crossroads customer service at 1-855-226-7496. Crossroad's number for this recall is 16-254.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
